Michelle Obama’s daughters are cut from the same cloth — yet have two totally different personalities.
The 61-year-old former First Lady shares two daughters — Malia, 27, and Sasha, 24 — with former President Barack Obama, whom she has been married to since 1992, per Obama.org.
And like most parents, Michelle isn’t afraid to admit when she hits her breaking point as a mother.
During the Dec. 24 episode of her “IMO with Michelle Obama” podcast, which she hosts with her brother Craig Robinson, Michelle told a story about her experience with what she called “frustrated mommy time.”
As she recalls, Sasha and Malia Obama were just three and seven years old, respectively, when she hit a breaking point.

“Barack was traveling. So I was at home trying to get the girls to bed. They were great kids, but this was one night that they were just being rambunctious,” she said of her daughters.
“I was like, ‘Get ready, it’s time to take your baths.’ And no one was listening,” she continued. “I was in frustrated mommy time, and I said, ‘Well, that’s it. You know, no one listens to me. I’m done parenting.’”
Michelle went on to tell her daughters that they can “do this on your own” since they seemed to “have this all figured out.”
What happened next shows just how different Malia and Sasha are from one another.
"My oldest daughter, Malia, said, 'Oh no, mommy, you know, I can't do without you.' And this is what I'm thinking, 'Yeah, this is what I wanted.' I wanted her to realize that she needed me," Michelle said.
"So she immediately started taking off her clothes. And it's like, 'Mommy, no, I don't know what I could do without you,’” she recalled.
But the younger of the two wasn’t fazed by her mother’s stress.
"Sasha, my 3-year-old, was sitting on the stairs watching all this. She took her blankie, and she turned around and went back upstairs to watch TV, as if to say, like, 'thank God,'" Michelle added.
"'At last, this is what I wanted from you, lady. I am 3. I can handle this. I'm going back upstairs,'" she recalled of what was likely going through her daughter’s mind.

Michelle went on to describe her younger daughter as the one who “wants to learn her way” and “doesn’t want to be told” how to do things, while her older daughter is the exact opposite.
